Just what the doctor ordered .....and that's official coming from a pulmonoligist -will probably put another 0.5L on your vital capacity .
Actually i'd be interested to hear your considered views on a head to head comparison on the E89 35is to the MR as a fun weekend toy to drive [ie not as a daily driver ] -as i've often contemplated moving to the E89 as i think look superb .In essence what keeps putting me off is the steep depreciation on the E89 vs MR which seems to be rock steady . Utlimately i dont see the E89 being seen in the same way as a modern classic -at least not in the next 10 years .

How do you find the M compared to the 35is ? Almost bought a Mr last month. Decided against it. ATM

Very nice John :thumbsup:

Is it cheeky to ask how much it was?

Cheers Tom. :thumbsup:

Yes, yes it is cheeky.... :lol:

Tell you what you have a guess and I may spill ok?

33k, running in service @ just under 1,200 miles. Service book all stamped up as correct.

Discs and pads ok, rears are getting a bit raggedy. Tyre depth all ok. Wheels reasonable, but then I'm too picky.

Body is without dings, scratches, and super clean, as is the interior. However as I'm a tart I'll get the front bumper painted to make perfect, usual chips etc, the bonnet is ok though, couple of small flecks is all.

Spec is superb:

Nav, cruise, air bag delete, 10 speaker DSP, cup holders, lekky folding wing mirrors, then the usual gubbins.

Yes I bought from an independent car dealer which goes against the grain as I would have preferred a private sale but the price was right, imo anyway, and it was the spec and colour I wanted, half red seats would have been nice but I'm very happy as is. 12 months breakdown and warranty.

I have to say I'm smitten with it, it's much smoother, for an M anyway, than the last one for some weird reason, and I'm loving it.

Want to chuck a guess in?
